« on: May 20, 2010, 08:58:03 PM »
so my buddy was the head fab guy at bbk, then gibson exhaust for several years in the r/d dept, then went to building all tooling for extreme sandcars for 6 years and he built all the custom twin turbo sand car set ups, then he did a custom 8 in to 1 single turbo set up for his bosses 28 foot elim.
he runs the maint dept at a very large co now and has his own shop he f's around in now. he told me if i supply the parts he would not charge me to build a full twin turbo set up completly water jacketed. he does in sane work and i am really thinking about it. but he needs an engine for mock up so my boat wont be down. anyone have a 460 they want to trade for a chevy 454 takien apart in good shape complete, factory hi perf 2 bolt

Oooooooooooo I'm having impure nasty thoughts again :banghead:.........Quad Turbos?

I have a few 460's in various stages of disassembly, but kinda far from you. Wish I could help. Got one with a REALLY tossed rod complete and assembled tho!  ;)
